Mage's will want to read this
As i haven't seen this tip anywhere and discovered it via my self, i think all
oblivion fan's are going to want to read this.
so mage's i bet you're pretty annoyed about the brilliant capabilitys of the
spell making alter's and the huge lack of magicka? well the key is get 100
restoration skill. you can gain near infinite magicka, intellect and
destruction skill(for lowering the cost of you're new uber spells or
restoration for lowering the cost of you're uber buffs.) basicaly you can make
as many versions of the same spell as you want and they will all stack on top
of each other as long as you don't have a spell with that name.
Advice on how to make you're chain of buffs:
first off i would advise going for 100 will power on self for 120 seconds that
will cost you about 560 or so magicka. If you have no way of getting that not
even with enchanted armor items then make your self a quick 100 magicka buff
as well to get enough. I say willpower first because you will want alot of
mana to be able to make truly brilliant spells, that will take alot of
regeneration to get it all back and lay on these buff's quick. the quicker you
can do it the more time you have to blast you're enemys. :) so you want about
2 or 3 willpower buffs then you can start stacking up intellect or magicka and
when you have enough magicka you can add both and the magic skills to lower
costs. (you need about 1200 magicka for this part starts getting expensive
magicka wise.) on top of this you can add things like 100%physical
shield,light,feather(which i suggest you always put on because with master
alteration it cost's 8 magicka which is nothing for the extra weight) and
spell r eflection anything usefull to you throw it in and then you can just
have one line of buffs rather then doing them all seperatly. If you make these
well you can be untouchable and damn dangerous i would advise saving before
making them it might not be quite what you're looking for first time and you
don't really want 6+useless spells clatering you're spell book. Last but not
least i expect this is not a glitch or cheat because i have the patched
version and it works just fine suggesting that they intended you to do this as
there really is no other way of using the full capabilitys of the spell making
alters. ENJOY YOU'RE GODLY NEW POWERS!.
